The Range of Rejoicing in Luke-Acts
The author of Luke-Acts demonstrates granularity and skill in his precise use of positive emotion terminology, here labelled as ‘rejoicing’. The theory of culturally constructed emotions and the use of semantic mapping provide helpful tools for analysing the range of rejoicing terminology in Luke-Acts. This study compares Luke’s positive emotion terminology with Josephus’s Antiquities and the Septuagint. This demonstrates that Luke does have a si…
The Presence, Nature, Cause, and Result of Jesus’s Anger in Mark 1
After a defense of the reading that Jesus was “angry” in Mark 1:41, this investigation explores the nature of anger in light of ancient and contemporary conceptions of emotion, what causes Jesus’s anger in the context, and what results from Jesus’s anger in the story. Jesus’s anger is aroused because the (“leprous”) man’s public request for an amazing act of cleansing comes right on the heels of Jesus’s attempt to avoid notoriety about his deeds …

The Configurations of Repentance in Luke-Acts
Previous studies of repentance in Luke-Acts have not adequately accounted for the various elements that the narrative repeatedly includes in its presentation of this theme. Drawing on the tools of cognitive science, this essay argues that Luke-Acts displays varying configurations of repentance that consistently include elements from four frames (prophetic, apocalyptic, priestly, and wisdom) into a problem-solution structure. These configurations …
The Resultative ὅτι in the New Testament with Special Attention to Luke-Acts
The possibility of the occurrence of resultative ὅτι clauses in the NT has been noted by grammarians and commentators but with a lack of consistency and clarity. Commentators often overlook this exegetical possibility, and a survey of NT Greek grammars displays a wide variety of opinions on the category. Luke 7:47 is a key instance that exemplifies the diffuse debate. A review of possible instances of the resultative ὅτι across the LXX , the NT ,…
Sacred Stories for Human Beings with Bodies and Brains
Recent studies on the dynamics and purposes of storytelling have highlighted the ways that stories employ embodied, affective, and conceptual elements in order to reinforce cultural values and prompt further ethical reflection. These aspects of storytelling are supported and enriched by insights from ancient rhetoricians and contemporary cognitive scientists who have shown how vivid description, mental simulation of embodied activity, and concept…
Proverbs, Persuasion and People
2 Cor 9.6–15 is crucial for understanding Paul's collection for Jerusalem, and this investigation exegetically examines the text while giving particular attention to three dimensions: sapiential material, rhetoric, and the socio-economic nature of the Corinthian church. The study concludes that the sapiential material comes from a Hellenistic Jewish background, though it shares affinities with Greco-Roman themes. Paul employs deliberative logos i…
